Jaco’s Random Writings

Man, this post is being put up really, really late. Well, I decided today to get Korg DS-10 for the Gameboy DS. I haven’t had too much time to play with it, but for the short period of time I’ve had to tweak around in there, it’s a Hell of a system. I mean, it’s 2 analog synthesizers, a drum machine, a virtual keyboard, and a KAOSS Pad… and it cost me $20. But the amount of sounds and music patterns you can pull out of this thing is ridiculous. The only downside is that the sound quality is questionable. However, that’s more to do with my 2 year-old DS that I bought used. I’m fairly certain the wiring to the audio jack is starting to give out. Also, once in a while, the two audio channels will just slightly go out of phase with one another, giving an interesting flanging effect… Buying a new DS has been added to a very, very long list of things I will have to eventually buy. I think I’m going to hold out until the Tegra-powered DS comes out (it’s just a rumor, but it’s an awesome rumor).

Anyway, after all that (and some moderate drinking), I got started on a sketch and this is what I have to upload tonight:

Just a random chick I started doodling

Yup, you can blame Alchemy for this one. I was at a loss as to what to draw and I started messing around in Alchemy again. After a little while, a figure emerged from the chaos. And yes, those are cybernetic implants on her wrist and middle finger. Since I am going to be getting home quite late tomorrow, I think I’ll continue working on this piece for tomorrow night’s upload. Right, good night.
